Having reached the "runs" the wagon will begin it's descent. A risky business.

Looks like the trainmaster out there in front of the runs watching it all happen. No sweat, just another day at the office.

A lot of polers got thrown and maimed or killed at this stage of unloading. I wonder what is in the mind of the guy on the left standing in front of the runs. He obviously doesn't know what can happen if the snub rope breaks.
